YOUR MOST EROGENOUS ZONE...IS YOUR MIND!

Hi there!

My name's Julian, sometimes Valeria! I live in the USA and UK (not at the same time). I am in my mid 40's, and an artist/designer!

My work has an erotic flavour, and i describe it as 'Tantric Pop Art'. It's well published and i'm lucky enough to have pieces hanging in around 15 museum collections worldwide; have several books also published. I'm here on Flickr to meet new friends; likeminded people...so please don't think twice about getting in touch; i would love to hear from you! You will find pictures of me, my male and female aspects, and of course my art...hope you enjoy?

Have a great day!
J

“There is a moment of discovery in each of Julian’s pieces that takes it across the line from innocent to prurient as the risqué character of these common objects is revealed to the viewer’s mind”

The Erotic Museum, Hollywood


“A super cool and highly sophisticated style of art, cleverly blending eroticism and popular consumer culture, Murphy’s ingenious and witty images have made him one of the most prominent and collectible erotic artists working in the world today”

Vogue Magazine


“Society’s current obsession with sex and consumerism makes for an interesting mix. A fresh and highly unique vision makes this the art of now!”
